Introduction

Microvolunteering actions can go to a person, rather than the other way round. This means they can be participated within a Club Meeting. Take a look below at our suggestion of holding a 'Microvolunteering Meetup' within one of your regular get togethers. It's easier than you think to squeeze in a bit of extra do-goodness in between your other community projects!

ORGANISING A MICROVOLUNTEERING MEETUP

The guidelines below are provided to assist in making a Microvolunteering Meetup run smoothly. Adapt as necessary to suit your event or remit.

1) Before A MEETUP

If appropriate, send out details of event via our Meetup Invitation, freely downloadable via the image below. Tick off the items on the Invitation you wish attendees to bring along.

Quite a few of our suggested micro-actions involve the internet, so invite attendees to bring along a wi-fi enabled device! Hopefully, your location will already be wi-fi enabled!

2) Prepare a few things

Take your pick of actions from the categories displayed below. Both sets offer instant, on-demand opportunities that can be completed in small amounts of time.

If you choose some of the opportunities from the ‘Offline Group Actions’ category, they will all need some type of equipment or material to participate in, usually no more than pencil, paper, card or knitting supplies.

Online, No Login ActionsA lot of actions require some sort of logging in process. The actions within this category require no sign up whatsoever. Just click & go!
